Merry Christmas from Crumbly Acres!


🎁♪♫♩♪♫♬ It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Things are pretty quiet, aside from the weather. Somebody is putting data together about football game results. Did I mention both my husbands were accountants?! Shiny shoes, and numbers.

Science and technology is grand. I'm watching Santa. First on NORAD, also on Flight Radar.

Flight Radar, it's a hoot!

We'll open the things we ordered for ourselves and gave to the other to wrap, or keep it in the shipping box. At our age we forget what we got, and it is a fun surprise. 

The kids are coming over later, after they have their family Christmas. 


🐇 Labbit has been out under the bird feeder. Last week she was cleaning up under the lilac bushes. (Oh, spring, lilacs!) Tuesday she was on the sidewalk headed for the feeders. The squirrels have been cleaning up pretty well, though. 

The Christmas Bunny has arrived! 
 
 
One year, trying to capture a roving cat (not ours) I tried to trapped Labbit!  Who knew she came up on the deck?
March, 2024

🐈  Another morning I was sitting blogging, in the dark. It was windy and cold again. Looking up, I spotted Cinnamon outside the window on his bench, looking to be let in. I had not let him out! He'd slept with us that night, so he hadn't been out. 

It turns out the basement door hadn't been shut properly. I imagine he went down to use the litter box, and sauntered out the door. I taught him to use the cat door recently, and he took off in the night. I'll have to teach him that you can go in the door, not just out! He was cold.

I love surprising myself with finding things I've forgotten! Labbit and Cinnamon are furry little guys, so hopefully will be warm enough in the snow. Happy Christmas.

Rabbits are easy to catch in a box trap.

That centre gift bag looks very familiar. :)

I hope you are having a happy day, especially when the family gets there.

Silly cat! Kitty didn't come in one evening in California and spent almost the entire night out there. What adventures pixie must have had then!

Good luck with teaching Cinnamon about only using the door on one side! I love Labbit. Sounds like a lovely Christmas. Much joy to you kind, dear people and thank you again for taking in a cycling traveler last summer!

I hope you had a Merry Christmas. Ours was fine. Of course I buy all my stuff for myself and the wife wraps it for me. Keeps returns to a minimum.

My daughter was sent to work with your army in Colorado, and was able to watch the NORAD folk doing the Santa run. She said it was funny and fascinating, both at once.

Colorado? I live near Perth, ON!
